And I'll never understand why the state kept this POS alive for nearly 50 years after what he did.

Three including Manson were sentenced to death. They didn't execute him or them because the law changed, years after they were sentenced, and the death penalty was outlawed for a time. Once they commuted their death penalties they couldn't reinstate them, hence the longevity in jail.

Did his estate gain any riches from the numerous books, movies, etc., that were written and made about his life?

If so, those profits should be turned over to the tax payers that paid for this a--hole's life for 50 years.

Enjoy eternal Hell.

P.S. An exception should have been made on reinstating their death penalties.

I don't believe that anyone who committed a crime can profit financially from it. No money from books or anything else went his way. He was clearly a very sick and evil human being who dragged a lot of impressionable young people into his circle. It's hard to imagine a more notorious crime than his killing of Sharon Tate and others. Almost hard to believe that there could be a person like him.
